Antioch Church
We are in the process of obtaining a church permit from the Ministry of Religion. Our strategy is to reach out to children and youth in the villages by teaching them basic English five days a week. Bible songs and Bible stories will be included in English classes and we will have a worship service on Sunday. Eden English School will use Interchange for the English curriculum.
Education is not easy for most Cambodians to get.
For most Cambodians education is difficult to obtain. Eden English school will offer the opportunity to learn English at a cost of $5/month. If students are not able to pay for tuition, a scholarship will exist. To qualify for the scholarship, students must attend five church activities per month. Activities will include Saturday evening youth meetings and Sunday morning worship services. By attending the five activities, students learn English for free and they get to hear the life-changing gospel multiple times each month.

Our Vision
The vision for Cambodia is to see as many people as possible born again. This is indeed the goal of Christian missions worldwide, but goals are accomplished differently depending on the culture. We need creative ways to reach the lost for Christ. This is what we pray for. This is what we need God to help us with. Cambodia is a difficult nation to reach, because of a generational Buddhist mindset. Our goal is to introduce people to Christ, not Western Christianity. Jesus transcends all cultures, and He is far from the "white man's God" or "America's religion", as is generally believed by most Cambodians.
The idea for Eden English School was conceived with the goal to teaching English to Cambodians, and at the same time to expose them to the truth of the Gospel. It is a creative way to educate children and youth, while not neglecting the importance of providing spiritual care as well. We believe knowledge is, in and of itself, not enough. Each member of this ministry has seen for themselves the difference that a relationship with Jesus has made in their lives. We desire to live lives that argue the truth of the Gospel more than we could with words.
The harvest here in Cambodia is ripe and we are praying that the Lord of the harvest will send us more workers. Could you be one of those workers whom God is answering our prayer through? What an amazing ministry opportunity exists in Eden English School.
We need foreign English teachers to help fulfil this vision. Foreign English speakers are important because the students desperately need help with their pronunciation. Extensive teaching background is not necessary. Missionaries have come with no prior English teaching experience and have found the Interchange courses easy and fun to teach. The real challenge is to come to Cambodia. After that, the Lord will bless your efforts and your service. One of the better ministry quotes states: "God does not call those who are equipped; He equips those who are called". So pray about coming to Cambodia to share some of the gifts that God has placed in you.
